With the addition of two new Tadano all terrain cranes – an AC 5.250L-2 and an AC 7.450-1 – the Spanish lifting specialist Talleres y Grúas Estación S.L. is further strengthening its fleet for demanding lifting projects. The investment underscores the company’s ongoing focus on modernization, operational efficiency, and sustainable development.
Close collaboration from production to handover
Before taking delivery, representatives of Talleres y Grúas Estación visited both Tadano production facilities to see their cranes during the manufacturing process: the AC 5.250L-2 in Lauf and the AC 7.450-1 in Zweibrücken. The official handover of the cranes was carried out in Spain by Tadano Sales Manager Jenaro Vilanova.
“We were able to see first-hand the high level of manufacturing quality and engineering expertise behind these cranes,” report Santiago Montenegro and Carlos Mosquera, CEOs of Talleres y Grúas Estación. “For us, investing in Tadano technology means investing in reliability, efficiency, and the long-term development of our fleet.”
Performance, safety, and flexibility for demanding projects
Both cranes were ordered in a comprehensive configuration with dual winches and an extensive range of safety and assistance systems. These include the IC-1 Plus crane control system, asymmetric outrigger positioning, and the Surround View camera system, which supports precise crane positioning and increases safety on demanding worksites.
For Talleres y Grúas Estación, the combination of performance and flexibility was a key factor in the purchasing decision. The AC 5.250L-2, with its 79-meter main boom and maximum system length of up to 109 meters, offers outstanding reach for complex lifting tasks. The larger AC 7.450-1 combines the strength of an eight-axle crane with the compact dimensions of a six-axle unit – a significant advantage when operating in environments where space is limited.
“With these cranes we are expanding our capabilities for highly demanding lifting operations,” explain Montenegro and Mosquera. “They provide our operators with advanced technology and offer our customers reliable and efficient solutions, even in complex project environments.”
“Talleres y Grúas Estación has been a valued partner and we are delighted that the company has once again placed its trust in Tadano technology,” says Jenaro Vilanova. “The AC 5.250L-2 and the AC 7.450-1 offer a powerful combination of performance, safety, and efficiency that will support the company in a wide range of lifting applications.”
Ready for challenging first assignments
The first assignment for the AC 5.250L-2 is already planned: the crane will perform a high-precision lift at a refinery, demonstrating its capabilities in a safety-critical industrial environment.
